The world breaks everyone but some are strong in those broken places

The world has broken mebut am learning to be strong in those broken placesI come homeit's not the same herethere used to be portraits of a happy us herethere used to be warmth hereI used to look forward to thisNow I want to drag it out a little bituntil it's a tad darker than it already is outsidethere are no more tears in memy throat is dryI tried to play pretendtried to act like it came naturallythere used to be kisses herelaughter has been herehugs once belonged herenow? not so muchno moreI just want to come in the dark and go to bedwant to wake up in the darkand leave before I can catch a glimpse of youbefore I can recountbefore my mind tricks me to want it all backbefore I remember I never really knew youit used to hurthappy stories have been written herebut happy or sad that's all in yesterdaytoday I've learnedand what to keep the lessonthat nothing lasts foreverbut hope, hope in Godhope and faith for a better tomorrow

i once told a friend that i had been broken. he said to me that he saw me as a willow who gets bent but never breaks and that what he likes is that he knows that i am coming back. which was nice for him to say because i don't always know that.

"the world has broken mebut am learning to be strong in those broken places"- thats very true..they world will break you but not for you to despair and give up hope but rather for you to build your character and become stronger!.nice one.

it's amazing how a feeling, truth, situation, etc can be exactly and accurately turned into words. and the line 'before i remember i never realy knew you', wow. i applaud you fellow poet. and every broken period is another opportunity for God to touch you more intimately, deeply lovingly molding you again into stronger beauty. God bless you.
